Comment 3 Don Domingo 2014-02-12 02:54:39 UTC
Hi David, I'm adding you as NEEDINFO to this BZ since you are the ASSIGNEE for BZ#978461.

I looked through BZ#978461, from what I can gather there are no special instructions for enabling cells support in global cinder configurations. As such, I don't see any related docs requirements. 

Also, I looked at the upstream docs and thus far only found the following content on cells:
http://docs.openstack.org/havana/config-reference/content/section_compute-cells.html#d6e4393

Note that we intend to pull the upstream Config Ref into RHOS5.0.

Comment 4 David Ripton 2014-02-18 14:11:32 UTC
Don, this is correct.  There's nowhere in Cinder itself to configure Cells support.  Instead, we configure it for Nova.

Comment 5 Don Domingo 2014-02-18 23:02:40 UTC
Note: cells information from upstream was already pulled down for RHOS4:
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_OpenStack_Platform/4/html-single/Configuration_Reference_Guide/index.html#section_compute-cells

Given that there's nothing new to document, closing this as NOTABUG.
